Azides are chemical compounds widely used in synthetic organic chemistry, pharmaceutical sciences, and materials chemistry. However, conventional synthesis methods for azide compounds have severe ...

Organic chemistry students and bench chemists alike rely on the Grignard reaction, a relatively simple way to make carbon-carbon bonds. But even though the reaction was first described 120 years ago, ...

Session 1: Making Grignard reagents and safety aspects of making and handling Grignard reagents. This presentation will cover the main ways for preparing organomagnesium compounds, and consider their ...

During a symposium in June, the ACS Division of the History of Chemistry (HIST) awarded the Citation for Chemical Breakthrough to the University of Lyon, in France, in honor of the institution’s role ...

A new method for creating one of chemistry’s most widely used class of compounds could revolutionize industrial processes, making them cheaper, simpler and more environmentally friendly. A group of ...

Azide compounds play a pivotal role for subsequent synthesis of organonitrogens such as amines and triazoles that are essential compounds in organic and materials chemistry. Triazoles that can be ...
